Cambridge YMCA Gymnastics team excels at Nationals
The Cambridge YMCA Gymnastics team recently traveled to Green Bay, Wisconsin, to compete in the 2025 YMCA National Gymnastics Championships, on the campus of Packer Stadium.
A total of 12 young Cambridge athletes turned in a solid performance in the huge event that featured over 1,700 athletes, from 16 states and 78 teams covering all of the levels.
The Cambridge Level 2 team consisting of Charleigh Tilton, Lucy Sebek, Abigail Carpenter, Lila Faller and Audrey Graham was crowned national champions for a second straight season, successfully defending their title as they competed against 22 other teams to claim another championship.
Skylar Kenworthy, Sophia Johnston, and Shiloh Blasenhauer comprised the Cambridge Level 7 team that finished in third place out of 24 teams despite just having a three-member team, which is the minimal number you can have to field a team. The local team battled for third place despite competing against teams that had upwards of 15 or 20 gymnasts.
Also competing for Cambridge were Laighla Boyd and Lillian Willis in Level 3 competition, with Aliza Rosser at Level 6 and Ivy Williams in Level 4 action.
